Ive just taken the S U B A R U letters off the back of my MY99 UK Turbo and replaced them with the Jap/cartoon style WRX sticker. I am really happy with the new look but thought i'd see what people on here thought?

Prefer complete debadge. I got a 1.8GL sticker made up for my last car with the intention of putting potential thieves and idiot boy-racers off the scent, but my current car's got nothing on it.

Must admit when i had de badged and polished it I was tempted to leave it as it did look good completely bare! Decided it'd be rude not to put the WRX sticker on though after paying £15 for it!!

Try debadge and no spoiler! Really keeps people guessing, though the scoop rather gives things away at the front (and the big exhaust at the back to a certain extent).
My WRX came across from Japan debadged, and I've never had any intention of putting anything on there. Should be perfectly obvious what it is.......

Its silver. The WRX lettering is the darker shade grey/silver from the two available with the green outline. Would post a pic but im not that advanced!

I was thinking of taking off the crap WRX sticker that comes with jap import and putting on the badge from the new age WRX which looks much better. Anyone done this?

leave it completely debadged - makes the rear end look nice and clean...
I don't like the cartoon graphics to be honest...
If you really want a 'sticker' - get a nice metal badge (nick it off a new age)

The metal madges are plastic!
Nice to see you would think of vandalising another Scoob for your own gains...

For a guide on taking the badges off, check
here and look under "body mods".

I used the tried and tested hairdryer and dental floss method then a bit of tar remover to get rid of any left over glue. Surprisingly worked a treat!

L E G A C Y will give you the 'C' and the 'Y', so all you need to find is the 'O' perhaps from a F O R R E S T E R ?
Post some pics if you do it!
